Hi,

this is realized in the SelectionTool.acceptTraverseHandle(KeyEvent e) method and as you can see it's a private method. So you can't change it.

However you could create your own SelectionTool by extending the original SelectionTool and override its handleKeyDown(KeyEvent e) method. There you should handle the key you want.

Or you could register your own KeyHandler which would accept the key you want and the action would call '.' key event on the viewer.

But these are just my ideas:)
